"I could see him winning by 8 or 10 shots” - Brandel Chamblee makes wild prediction of a runaway victor at the Masters 2024

Veteran golf analyst Brandel Chamblee has picked Scottie Scheffler as his clear favorite to win the Masters 2024. He added that if Scheffler putts well this week, he might end up winning the Green Jacket by a huge margin.

The Masters 2024 is set to kick off on Thursday, April 11th, and Scheffler is once again one of the favorites to lift the title on Sunday. He is entering the week as World No. 1 and has already won two Signature events this season. With impressive consistency this season, Chamblee believes the golfer is the one to beat this week.

Chamblee was recently present as an expert on Golf Central Live From The Masters, where he predicted the World No. 1 golfer as the runaway favorite for the first major of the season.

"It’s maybe a little bit early to be predicting a blowout victory, but look… If Scheffler putts good, I could see him winning by 8 or 10 shots," he said.

He added that currently, no one was dominating the PGA Tour like Scheffler and he was incredible in the approach play and scrambling, the two important aspects to prevail at Augusta.

"Well, he’s first in approach play, and he’s fourth in scrambling," he continued. "You add those two numbers together, that’s five. Nobody has come in there with anything less than 20."
